A member asked:
My fil 81, diagnosed with nph has history of earlier clot in the brain now on diamox (acetazolamide) and surgery ruled out , what's prognosis and any other options ?

Neurosurgeon: You could get an opinion from another neurosurgeon as some cases do well with a insertion of a shunt to divert fluid from the brain ventricles which are abnormally swollen with excess fluid causing pressure on parts of the brain.
